Small Engine Repair: How to Change the Engine Oil and Oil Filter on a Lawn & Garden Tractor

**Always follow the instructions in your repair manual when doing repair or maintenance work on Outdoor Power Equipment. Manuals can be found at the manufacturers website.** The subject of this video is how to change the engine oil and oil filter on a Kohler V-Twin Engine found on a Craftsman GT5000 Garden Tractor. The engine oil capacity is 1.7 – 1.9 quarts, and Kohler recommends using a multi viscosity, detergent type motor oil with a API SG rating. The Kohler OEM Oil Filter part number is 12 050 01. The engine should be cleaned and brought to operating temperature before the oil and filter is changed. If the engine can’t be cleaned, than at least clean the area of the engine involved in the oil change to prevent any dirt from entering the engine. Bringing the engine to operating temperature will help the used oil flow better and any impurities in the engine are more likely to flow out with hot engine oil. After the engine is cleaned and brought to operating temperature, than the next step is to find the oil drain plug, remove it, and let the old engine oil drain out of the engine. After all the engine oil has drained out of the engine, reinstall the drain plug. With the oil drained and the drain plug reinstalled, than find the oil filter and remove it. Not all engines found on lawn and garden tractors have a oil filter, so this step can be skipped if your engine doesn’t have a oil filter. After the oil filter is removed, than clean the oil filter adapter. Apply a light …

On Wednesday May 20, 2009 Whitehall stations 36 and 37 where sent out along the Jordan Creek for the brush fire. On arrival crews found a working fire in a hollow tree, crews used a booster line from brush 37 along with some hand tools to put out the flames. Notice in the video smoke coming from two openings near the top of the tree. Nice Job by all. FCII Fire Helmet Camera

www.ericthecarguy.com Well it’s finally over, I’m able to walk away from this truck for a while and hopefully do some easier stuff for the next few weeks. Taking off the intake manifold was a big help as you can see so if your thinking about doing this job I would highly recommend removing the intake before removal. Music by Ick.

Small Engine Repair: Checking a Vacuum Fuel Pump / Fuel System on a Kohler V-Twin Engine

**Always follow the instructions in your repair manual when doing repair or maintenance work on Outdoor Power Equipment. Manuals can be found at the manufacturers website.* Checking the fuel system, and vacuum fuel pump on a V-twin 25HP Kohler engine involves checking the fuel lines that attach to the pump, and checking fuel flow. The first step is to check to make sure fuel can flow from the gas tank to the fuel pump. To do this, disconnect the fuel line from the vacuum inlet fitting on the vacuum pump. Take the fuel line and lower it to a point that is below the fuel tank and see if gravity will cause fuel to flow from the tank through the line. If fuel flows, than the line is clear. If fuel will not flow, than check the fuel filter to see if it is restricted. Also check the fuel tank shut off valve if the tank is equipped with one. The valve may be in the off position, or dirty and restricted. Check the fuel tank cap to see if the vent on the fuel tank cap is plugged. If the fuel tank cap vent is plugged than fuel will not flow out of the fuel tank. Next, check the pulse line on the vacuum pump. Make sure it is connected correctly to both the vacuum pump and the engine crankcase. Also, make sure the engine is not overfilled with oil and the pulse line is not filled with oil. If the engine oil is overfilled with oil, than oil can make its way into the pulse line and block the pressure necessary to operate the fuel pump. The next thing to check is the fuel line from the …
